Good early 5am 7 mile run. It was warm enough for the wet roads not to freeze and turn to black ice. Although, I saw someone scraping their windshield. Why would a windshield ice over but not the ground? The thermometer read 34 at my house. I don't understand that. Where was I? Oh yeah, I started with a 2 mile warm up going south on the JRP. I ran into a skunk so I had to turn around and run north. I finished those 2 miles back at the house and changed into my Altras. I haven't ran in these for quite a while but I'm determined to make them work. I want my feet and lower legs to be strong enough to handle them. So I ran a half mile then walked for a minute then ran back. It felt all right, not any worse than my other shoes. I changed back to the first pair back at the house and finished up with 4 miles for a total of 7. I'll try adding just a half mile a week in those shoes and see how they go. |
